James:1:2-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My brothers count it all joy when you fall into various trials ,
*
knowing that the proving of your faith works patience .
*
But let patience have its perfective work ,
that you may be perfect and complete ,
lacking nothing .
*
But if any of you lacks wisdom ,
let him ask from God ,
who gives to all freely and with no reproach ,
and it will be given to Him .
*
But let him ask in faith ,
doubting nothing .
For the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea ,
being driven by wind and being tossed ;
*
for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord ;
*
he is a double-souled man ,
not dependable in all his ways .
*
But let the lowly brother rejoice in his lifting up ;
*
and the rich one rejoice in his humiliation ,
because he will pass away like the flower of the grass .
*
For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass ,
and its flower fell out ,
and the beauty of its appearance perished ;
so also the rich one will fade away in his ways .
Isaiah .

40:6 ,
7
*
Blessed is the man who endures temptation ,
because having been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to the ones loving Him .
*
Let no one being tempted say ,
I am tempted from God .
For God is not tempted by evils ,
and He tempts no one .
*
But each one is tempted by his own lusts ,
having been drawn out and having been seduced by them .
*
Then being conceived ,
lust brings forth sin .
And sin being fully formed brings forth death .
*
Do not go astray ,
my beloved brothers ,
*
every act of good giving and every perfect gift is from above ,
coming down from the Father of lights ,
with whom is no change or shadow of turning .
*
Having purposed ,
He brought us forth by the word of truth ,
for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures .
